" even if you don`t plan on exercising real vigorously..."

Cramps are a result of overexcitability of the muscle nerves. It`s basically an extended involuntary muscle spasm. They occur for various reasons, usually after exercising. Some of the reasons may be dehydration, low calcium and magnesium, low potassium, or even a shift in bodily fluids. There are things you can do to help prevent cramping: First of all, make sure that you properly warm up before exercising. Even if you don`t plan on exercising real vigorously, it`s important to loosen and warm your muscles up first. Secondly, make sure you hydrate yourself up to a day before your vigorous exercise and hydrate during and after your period of exercise, preferably with water. Thirdly, eat foods that provide potassium and magnesium. Bananas are a great food to provide these two important minerals. Even better are rice bran, wheat bran, raw hazelnuts, raw pecans, and raw almonds. If you do these things, you should be less likely to suffer with cramps. I hope this helps.

Muscle cramps (Charley Horse) or spasms, when muscles cannot relax or it involuntarily contract. This causes the muscles to harden. Skeletal muscles are most prone to cramps especially muscles in the arch of foot, thigh, and muscles in the thigh. Muscle cramps occur from having low calcium and low potassium content in your blood. Mild cramps can also be due to dehydration or lack of essential fluids needed by our blood. Also not enough blood circulation can resort to spasms or cramps. Women who have their menstrual period also have the tendency to experience cramps. Feet cramps occur due to improper footwear. Also overuse of muscles, when exercising, swimming, running and walking can cause cramps especially if your body is not warmed up properly. -goftpfan 114579.

The cause of muscle cramps is actually not clear so of yet but there are a few theories out that state that dehydration, poor conditioning, muscle fatigue, doing new activity, and exercising in heat can contribute to muscle cramps. When you play a sport, you may be exercising in the heat, exhausting your muscles, become hydrated, all of which can contribute to muscle cramps. Another thing to consider is when you are playing sports in the heat, you sweat and this sweat contains salt, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. When these nutrients decrease in amount, incidences of muscle cramps increase.

Most cramps can be stopped if the muscle can be stretched. For many cramps of the feet and legs, this stretching can often be accomplished by standing up and walking around. For a calf muscle cramp, the person can stand about two to two and a half feet from a wall (possibly farther for a tall person) and lean into the wall to place the forearms against the wall with the knees and back straight and the heels in contact with the floor. Another technique involves flexing the ankle by pulling the toes up toward the head while still lying in bed with the leg as straight as possible. Gently massaging the muscle will often help it to relax, as will applying warmth from a heating pad or hot soak. If the cramp is associated with fluid loss, as is often the case with vigorous physical activity, fluid and electrolyte (especially sodium and potassium) replacement is essential.

You will need to provide more details about your pain, from what you are saying it could be lot`s of affections, from affections of the lombar spine to affections of the veins and arteries.
Please tell me bout the pain...does it irradiate all the way to the hand fingers, or it`s only located in one spot ?
You will have to come with more details like the Quick time trombosis (blood exams).
Do a RMN at your spine .

Not all over your body. Period cramps, better known as menstrual cramps occur in the lower abdomen and pelvis and can extend to the lower back and legs. So your back may be affected but not your arms and feet. So there is another reason for pain in your arms and feet that is not associated with period cramps.

Cramping is actually due to lack of calcium, you have to drink milk..magnesium may also what your body is lacking.. take multivitamin everyday, it will give you all all the important nutrients..when you see a doctor, he will only give you muscles relaxer which will relieve your muscle but you`ll be sleepy..

When you have cramps, quickly stretch the affected body part, cramp is due to dehydration, lack of calcium, and lack of warm up before exercise, so when you have it, drink water, and breath deeply through your stomach(diaphragm)..it will take a few minutes..

I am no expert, but I would say that since you have heat attached to pain in your body, that would mean that you have an infection in your jaw, most likely one of your molar teeth is infected. You might need a root canal. You need to go to a dentist to check it out.

I just read on the net " cirrosis of the liver" and usually a blood test will show your liver is fine. So you have to find other means.
Another research on the net shows vitamin B12 will help.
So will a low a sodium diet.
